Chapter 54
"Congratulations, Leo, you've won your first game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"There's nothing to be happy about, it's just a victory with no suspense. ā
After the game, Mike and the others first found Leo and congratulated him. However, Leo did find the victory a bit boring. The game ended so quickly that I hadn't experimented with the usefulness of some interesting ideas?
"Of course, if you use all your strength, the teachers who are responsible for maintaining the enchantment will be troublesome enough. Moreover, this game alone will have a big enough impact on you. That kind of formation like a rain of arrows can be made by you so casually...... It is estimated that by the time you play the next game, someone will plan a battle for your fighting style. ā
"That's good, so I can experiment with some of my ideas. Ah~ I really hope there will be a better game, no, it's good to have a longer game~"
Mike was right, but for Leo, it was exactly what he wanted. The purpose of this competition is to experiment with some of his ideas and to understand what level he is in this academy. Rankings and rewards are not very important. After all, Leo came to this academy to solve the problem of his memory. As long as the ranking is about the same, there is no need to be so persistent. Rewards are also dispensable for Leo. However, this is only because Leo doesn't know what the rewarded item is, so he doesn't think the reward or anything like that is very important. In fact, the items awarded by the academy in each tournament are absolutely good. Some precious books such as combat skills and magic, as well as some enchanted weapons, scepters, and some accessories with rather strange effects, are as precious as they are.
"People are here for rewards and rankings, but you're only here for those purposes...... It's really like your style. ā
"Isn't that a matter of course? Aven, am I still not in my own style?"
"This ...... I can't find a reason to refute what you said. ā
Evan was a little helpless, but it was indeed Leo's style in this way. It's direct, it's pure, and it's nerveless.
"Mr. Leo, did you use that technique called rapid spellcasting this time?"
"Well, that's right, it's a quick spell, what's wrong, is there a problem?"
Suddenly, Chrissy appears in front of Leo and asks about the techniques he uses in this competition. Leo wasn't surprised to see Chrissy suddenly appear, anyway, he'd been used to it for the past few weeks. Just after Chrissy had finished asking, Leo answered Chrissy succinctly.
"Although in the beginning, the trap magic that Mr. Leo used was the product of a quick spell. But...... I always felt that those cyan arrows that appeared at the end of the game didn't look like the product of rapid spellcasting, what kind of trick was that?"
"yes, Leo, what the hell is that technique? I'm a magician, and I'm interested in that. ā
It seems that the cyan arrows that appeared at the end of the game were of great interest to the two magicians, Chrissy and Aven.
"Those arrows weren't meant to be the product of quick spell casting, they were a technique that I was still perfecting. It's not a very advanced skill, it's just a small skill that can unleash several magic tricks at the same time. Chrissy, I should have told you about it. ā
However, Leo didn't think it was a sophisticated technique. After all, he was just a novice to the use of magic because he had little formal education in magic. Even the skills that they can discover, there is no reason why these two people can't find them.
"Oh, do you mean the technique you mentioned earlier about using several spells at the same time through a shortcut magic array?"
Chrissy tried to recall her previous memories and found that she did know what the technique was all about, as Leo had said.
"What's the Quick Magic Circle?"
However, for Aven, who hadn't listened to Leo's explanation, he couldn't figure out what Leo and Chrissy were talking about at all.
"Hmmm......"
Leo looked up at the sun overhead.
"It's not early, let's explain while we eat. ā
"Eat...... It's also time. ā
"Is this already the time?"
It seemed that no one objected to Leo's opinion, so Leo and his party went to the cafeteria in the academy neatly to settle lunch.
"Eat...... I just remembered that I still have some urgent business to do with Aven, Leo and Chrissy, you should go to dinner first. Alright, Aven, let's go. ā
However, in the middle of the process, Mike seems to suddenly remember something very important, which makes Leo and Chrissy want to leave.
"Hey, what are you talking about, what's the urgency ......"
When Evan heard Mike's words, he immediately wanted to refute it, but he was pulled away by Mike.
"You two go first. ā
While pulling Evan away, Mike didn't forget to turn around and tell Leo and Chrissy to go first.
"Since you're in a hurry, well, let's go first. ā
Leo and Chrissy glanced at each other, ready to leave.
"Whew~ almost disturbed the two of them. ā
After seeing Leo and Chrissy walk away, Mike wiped the sweat from his nervous face.
"Hey, you're not ......"
Seeing Mike like this, Evan seemed to think of something, but he didn't say it.
"Looks like you guessed it. ā
Seeing Evan's expression of wanting to say but not wanting to say, Mike knew that Evan must have guessed what he wanted to do.
"I have a few ideas for the time being, can you take a look?"
"Huh?"
After that, Mike was a little excited to talk to Evan about something, and even forgot about eating. Leo and Chrissy had a rather rich lunch, much to the envy of Mike and Evan afterwards.
"However, Elio, your strength, as long as you don't meet some special people, it is still easy to win the game. ā
The next day, Leo came to watch Mike's game, and while chatting with Avan, Evan inadvertently said something that Leo cared about.
"Certain ...... Special people? Where are these special people?
"I was careless, I ...... accidentally"
When Evan heard Leo's words, he immediately became very restrained.
"Can't you say it?"
"It's not that I can't say it, it's just that I'm afraid it will hit you. ā
"I'm not afraid! ā
Leo made a look that he was not afraid of the blow, so that Evan could rest assured.
"That's what you said, don't blame me then. Listen, the next thing I'm going to talk about is something that ignores the hierarchy gap. ā
"Ignore the rank gap!
Leo was already shocked just to hear that he ignored the level gap.
"I've reminded you, but I'm glad I prepared a soundproof barrier first. ā
Seeing Leo, who was surprised only because he had said a small part, Evan could only sigh and continue.
"These special people are not just because they ignore the hierarchy difference, but because they are not external objects, but because they have a 'characteristic' in themselves. These 'characteristics' are the 'abilities' that human beings have, and the 'abilities' that each person has are different. I only found out about this when I was in my second year of life, and I was shocked at the time. Fortunately, although everyone will have this thing, whether it can be activated is a question. ā
"Do you still need to activate this 'ability'?"
"Of course, how can something so powerful be unlimited. In fact, there is no such thing as uselessness in 'ability'. Each ability has its corresponding usage, and whether you can use your 'ability' to the maximum extent is the key to the battle between these people. ā
"But you've said so much, what exactly does 'ability' look like? ā
Although Leo listened carefully to Evan's tirade, he still only knew a little about 'ability'.
"Specific...... Let me think. Let's take some of the 'abilities' that have now been documented. For example, the ability of 'Broken Stone', what do you think it looks like? ā
"Broken stone, does it mean strengthening one's own strength so that oneself can break the stone?"
According to the literal meaning, broken stone should mean the destruction of stone.
"Not entirely true, in fact, the ability of 'broken stone' can do more than just destroy stone. Broken stone refers to the destruction of objects that have the property of 'stone'. Whether it's a gem, a rock, as long as it's a stone, the ability of 'Broken Stone' can absolutely damage it. This is the characteristic of 'broken stone', that is, 'ability'. So, it's hard to guarantee that there will be some 'ability' to restrain you, Leo, you better be careful. ā
"It's not everyone's got this kind of thing, otherwise it's going to be in trouble. ā
Although the things heard were amazing, fortunately, such things were not very common, and Leo was not very worried.
"Maybe not necessarily, you see......"
Evan gestured to Mike, who was now in the middle of the game, and gestured to Leo.
"No......"
Seeing the scene in the arena, Leo was speechless in surprise.
"If you think about it, our academy is a college full of geniuses, and the number of people with this kind of 'ability', to be honest, is not small. ā
